While we're talking kitchens, allow me to recommend Scandinavian comedy Kitchen Stories. Delightful film about a Norwegian bachelor farmer agreeing to have an ergonomics expert watch him use his kitchen as part of study to improve kitchen design.
Absolutely LOVED this! Soooooo interesting, thanks for revealing all this good stuff! If you ever get the chance to go to Farley’s - the house where Lee Miller lived
Near Lewes - her kitchen is all exactly as she left it.
Apparently she was one of the first people in the UK to get a fitted kitchen…
I recently spent a day cooking in her kitchen - it was MAGICAL. We made lots of dishes to her own recipes - including Tomato Soup Cake - will be writing about it soon, will try and remember to tip you the wink when it's out... xx
I love this! I had read about her before, but this deep dive is great. We have finally moved into our renovated house and I can confirm it takes a lot of thought to get it right.
Totally unaware of this, fascinating.

Thank you, James! Will look that up!

Thank you, Jenny! And wouldn’t you know, I actually looked up Lee Miller recently - this is definitely on the list! Thank you! 😊

I love tomato soup - and cake. But would not have thought to put the two together. 🤔

Thank you, Mary! And now I’m curious about your kitchen! 😊
Very interesting. I worked in interior design in the 80-90s and did not know this. Will you write about English kitchens too? Please!
Thanks, Kalee! I might have to add the English kitchen background to my research list…🤔
Our kitchen is a 1750s log cabin. It has a large open hearth fireplace, which we do occasionally use for cooking.
